Cooperative Engineering
-- The foundry engineer and the equipment design engineer have to establish communication
and a cooperative relationship in developing a design that has the optimum performance and
value.

It is good practice to review the
original design to ensure that it takes advantage of the benefits of the foundry process
and avoids the design features that produce problems in metalcasting.

Atchison
Casting received engineering drawings which showed the final form, fit and function for
the pintle socket. The foundry engineers and the design engineers converted these drawings
to casting drawings which included --
